'Cause it's the cyclists that need educating...

If anything, I found it hard to get used to NOT fearing for my life on the roads...drivers slowing/ stopping and checking for cyclists BEFORE swerving off the main road???? It was surreal, but beautiful.

Yes me too! Until I get used to it I stick to London defensive habits and slow/give way to cars even when I have right of way...then feel like a plum as various natives cycle blithely past without looking or slowing down.

Cycle Training rather than Cycling Proficiency, which is essentially like a theory test that last 5 minutes, telling drivers what they already know, expect to watch out for bicyclists.

Personally, all there is to do is simply get driving instructor to included how to work with bicyclists as part of their lesson, previously they didn't, I should know since I took a driving test in 2005 and after finishing the lesson, no mention of bicyclists at all let alone how to work with them.

That would be great. In my ideal world though the driving course would involve a bit of cycling on the roads so that drivers can see things from the cyclist's point of view. Lots of drivers don't seem to realise/care how intimidating tailgating or passing too close can be.
